This is an unusual garment that incorporates a lot of different elements. We see the small ruffles at the neck, the white shoulders and cuffs against the main black colour and the culottes on the bottom half. It' a very original and interesting design. The boots are the perfect choice for wide leg slacks that resemble a skirt. I love the dramatic belt shown on the model.

That belt is amazing, and for me works because it takes the eye away from the rest of the outfit!

Oh my! On my first very quick glance, I thought Letizia was wearing a nun's habit. I get the same vibe when she is wearing the black cape. The boots are a totally different story. I like the new, fun, gifted earrings.

The gifted earrings were definitely the fun part of the outfit for me :)

Haha, I had exactly the same initial thought!

I have to take a pass on this contrasting yoke idea. To me it's only a half step behind the leg-hole in the skirt the other day.

This was such a great outfit until I found out the bottom part turned into culottes. Such a disappointment.

This outfit looks splendid, it has some very interesting features that I love. The slight ruffles at the neck, the contrasting pale color at the bodice and cuffs, with petite black buttons, adding interest. I love the wide legs of the jumpsuit; the boots look divine. I prefer the more sedate belt the Queen is wearing; I don't like the belt worn by the model. Her earrings are lovely as is the shoulder bag. Her cape is very interesting.

This is a striking outfit. The white shoulders give lovely structure so the jumpsuit would look super slimming in any size. QL is on a roll with her looks these days. So nice she's wearing the gifted earrings too.

Just to say thank you Elizabeth for curating this wonderful archive of QL's looks. During the pandemic this was one of my escapes from lockdown boredom. Now life is back to normal again it's my style inspiration, even though I'm twice the size of QL, I love that she's revelling in being 50 and looking fabulous

I'm very sorry but this Teresa Helbig has stretched my own fashion sense too far and it's a No from me. I had almost reconciled myself to the white yoke over the main body of black, but then I saw Letizia had moved and revealed culottes, not skirt. Somehow this moved the whole into overwhelm and generally too busy.

The lovely Herrera cape does a wonderful job of covering the worst of it. The new Dominguez shoulder bag is just great, I like the off-beat squared-off flap, and, my word, but Letizia does love her over-the-knee boots, which can be fun, but seem to add yet more heaviness to what I find an awkward outfit. Happy to be told I got it all wrong!

I am sorry to be unkind but the Queen's cape choices do Her no favours (for the record I like capes). Her choices often look messy and heavy. A white belted wrap coat an inch longer than the jumpsuit would have looked smart over the white ruffle collar, and black accessories. The jumpsuit weighs Letizia down. I would suggest removing approximately 4 inches from the length. As we can see from the runway image above, the model's jumpsuit is shorter which presents a far lighter look. In many of the day's photographs, the skinny waist belt rode up revealing the waist seam line (the addition of belt loops may have prevented this). The Nina Ricci boots are gorgeous! I adore their minimalist design. I am delighted to see a handbag! I have mentioned here several times before that I would like to see the end of dainty clutches at non-formal day events. While the Adolfo Domínguez bag is lovely, an elegant tote (with a handle) may have been preferable to Letizia wrapping the long shoulder strap around to hold the bag neatly. Against the busyness of the collar, diamond studs, and a low ponytail with a heavy side parting would have looked tidier (I appreciate that it was a wise and courteous decision to wear the gifted hoops). To conclude, stronger styling could have significantly improved this look.
